PROJECT STATUS

Design approval was granted by City Council in May 2024, with a contract award authorized in September 2024. Due to constructability issues, the contract was terminated and the project redesign is on hold pending future direction from City Council.

ABOUT THE PROJECT   

The project will focus on connection to schools and will improve mobility for pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicular traffic, while also improving safety and connectivity. Improvements include the construction of new sidewalks and bike lane infrastructure. The project will also construct new curb, gutter, landscaping and driveway along the corridor. Drainage improvements will be introduced to help capture runoff and promote better conveyance, and new bioretention cells will be constructed to improve water quality.

REVIEW PROCESS  

Public Community Meetings for the Santa Fe Corridor project were held on Oct. 20, 2021 and March 25, 2021.  Materials from both public meetings can be found on the city's Engineering Public Notice Page.

PROJECT BENEFITS & AMENITIES

• Improved mobility and safety throughout the entire corridor, including access to schools, through new bikeways and sidewalks and intersection improvements.

• Added storm water management measures through new landscaping and trees.

• Green Street features will be implemented in the project, including permeable surfaces where possible, street trees where width is adequate to accommodate them, and bio-swales in several locations for natural filtration of stormwater runoff

• Buffered Bike Lane with minor segments of Bike Separation.

• Educational outreach and active transportation encouragement activities for SDUHSD students to help increase student use of the new bike/walk infrastructure.
